Booooooo! Up a $1? ;P Good luck with that $7 plate then. I'd rather eat Popeyes. For 4.50 + 1.95, I'd be up one pork chop or one chicken leg at Wah Mei. Haha. No dumplings isn't a loss.

This is a problem. I enjoy going to the Cravings truck on Friday afternoons, and $6 really doesn't bother me that much. Seriously though? $7 They've got to be out of their minds. Chicken does not cost that much.
-
agreed... not going at that price... will wait for the weekends to go elsewhere (or maybe try Wah Mei)
-
Yea, I only want their fried chicken w. rice on Fridays anyway. I might as well travel to Wah Mei. Extra chicken leg or extra pork chop for a better price. Heck, I might even have to consider eating that $7 burger over this. Haha.
-
Speaking of which, is the Popeyes on 40th street closed down? I used to work by there and it was a great haven for yummy chicken and red beans/rice.
-
I went last Friday and they were still open. Hopefully they can stay in business and their 1.99 for 2 pieces and biscuit deal stays around too. It was da bomb!
-
Is $1 really that big of a deal? I'm not sure how Wah Mei factors in since you'll have to tip the guy well enough to be worth the delivery. I'm sure if he gets a consistently shitty tip, that Wah Mei will find it tough to keep a delivery guy that would go to midtown.
That said, I can't argue the popeyes logic :)

Well unlike the group ordering, it'll likely be only me eating fried chicken/ pork chops from Wah Mei so it's only a subway ride away...unless I convince my co-workers and friends to eat this more often. No tip involved, just subway off my unlimited monthly and on a Friday, no big deal to go to chinatown for lunch. If not, Popeyes it is!!!
$1 isn't a lot of money but when halal will only run you $5-6 and there are other options I can eat for 7, it kinda is. The specials at 53rd Gourmet Deli's at 875 3rd Ave. are only 6.75-6.95 (my fav. now is their cheesesteak w. fries) and you get a cookie, fruit salad or jello, and a can soda. That definitely beats the pants off of fried chicken w. rice. Don't get me wrong. I like NYC Cravings but there's better deals to be had. HAHAHA.

yeah.. while $1 isn't a lot of money.. it opens up a lot more "alternatives" when you get to $7...

has anyone checked the website lately? looks like the fried chicken is going up by $1. and they wont have dumplings for lunch on mondays and fridays.
this is very interesting, now that Wah Mei will deliver to Midtown....
